pretty sure i was at that exact spot. camped near moraine one or two years ago in its off-season. we were the only ones there other than the people that ran the place who were really nice. it was in november and there were all kinds of freaky, giant halloween figures hanging from the trees still from some kind of event.

I know some guys that went, but didnt have any luck.

I went up to my buddy's camp in Clarion on Saturday just for the night. Was coming home yesterday on 68 west right outside of Rimbersburg (before East Brady) and had a giant black bear cross the road about 75 yards in front of me. For all the time that I have spent in the outdoors, that is the first time I have ever seen a bear in the wild. It was pretty cool. Wish I would have gotten some pics.

Awesome and scary at the same time. I saw one bowhunting last year. I stood incredibly still until he came within about 40 feet of me. I had to do something.. so I yelled real loud, and he ran off after about 5 seconds of staring me in the eye.

My buddy's father in law was lucky enough to get selected for an Elk tag in PA, and got one this morning. They actually have a camp up in Elk county, so I imagine that he was pretty excited to get one after seeing Elk all these years and not being able to hunt them.

Spoiler:

No way. That. Is. Awesome! My coworkers went out to a ranch in Iowa and hunted them. Cost almost $8,000 each.

Yeah, that is pretty awesome. What is funny is that my buddy and his father in law paid big bucks last year to go to Colorado to hunt Elk and Mule Deer and came back with nothing. This year, one of them was lucky enough to get the PA tag.
